Steps to reproduce

  1. Installed ubertooth-2020-12-R1

Expected behaviour

Can't find instructions on how to install and run ubertooth-btbr. I understand that it is dfferent firmware, although I haven't found it. I did find host/python/ubtbr/ubertooth-btbr. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Actual behaviour

The standard tools work fine, but I don't see any docs on btbr.

Version information

Ubuntu 18.04.6

Ubertooth tools version (ubertooth-rx -V):
2020-12-R1
libbtbb version:
same
Ubertooth firmware version (ubertooth-util -v):
N/A

If you are reporting a problem that involves third party software
(Wireshark/Kismet/etc), please report the version here.

Do you have a link to ubertooth-btbr?

@straithe thanks for following up. I have ubertooth.btbr in the python folder, do you mean that? Maybe I just need to run setup.py, but I didn't know.

@straithe thanks, yes I had read that already. I don't know how to get to the point where these commands can be issued. Do I need to install something? I tried running as ./ubertooth-btbr and saw the error
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'usb1'
Apologies if this is a dumb question.

Just to confirm, after installing the firmware you tried running the commands on https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/tree/master/host/python/ubtbr in a Python shell, yes?

I just tried that, although I don't see how it could work since those commands aren't python files, and it doesn't work. I think I must be missing something obvious, some kind of installation I didn't finish. I tried running python setup.py and python3 setup.py but it requires arguments and I haven't studied the setup.py yet.

@straithe @mikeryan FWIW when I tried to run ubertooth-btbr on Ubuntu 22.04, I got the following error:

ubertooth-btbr --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ubertooth-btbr", line 3, in <module>
    from ubtbr.btctl import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ubtbr'

I then had to go to ubertooth-2020-12-R1/host/python/ubtbr and run sudo python setup.py install (which is not mentioned anywhere in the above cited documentation). @raysvmc try that first.

After that I could at least run the program:

ubertooth-btbr --help
Usage: ubertooth-btbr OPTIONS
Options:
  -f freq_offset: Set MOD_OFFSET register
  -b max_ac_errors: Max bit errors in Syncword detection

However, I would note that the version of the tool that's being run there is from /usr/local/bin/ubertooth-btbr according to which, since I think I did a make install at some point.

If I instead invoke the ./ubertooth-btbr in ubertooth-2020-12-R1/host/python/ubtbr, I get the below, which has an error and won't exit with ctrl-c, doesn't do anything if typing "inquiry", but which is maybe still sniffing some stuff according to the output? (But probably not, since if I restart it and initiate a BT classic connect with Braktooth and from bluetoothctl from the same machine nothing like the below L2CAP line shows up in the output.)

./ubertooth-btbr

(Note: I subsequently found that my system was in a weird state because I couldn't even do ubertooth-util -v without a USB error. I unplugged and re-plugged and made sure there were no background ubertooth processess still running. Then I could run sudo ./ubertooth-btbr and it would launch without error, but still not see any packets when I manually connected to nearby things.)

@jsmif thanks for the advice. I tried the setup.py install then when I ran ubertooth-btbr I got an error 'No module named usb1'.
Haven't given this any thought for a while and need to get back into it and give it serious thought. Also need to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks again!

Did you get anywhere with running ubertooth-btbr? I'm currently stuck with #520

I encountered the same problem as you, have you solved it now?

@Leadisan @straithe Apologies on my absence. on Ubuntu 22.04 I was able to run sudo python3 setup.py install in the ubtbr folder and can now run ubertooth-btbr. Maybe I hadn't tried this before? It seems obvious in hindsight. So far I can't get it to monitor a connection for some reason. Fortunately we haven't had a problem with our product connecting anyway so this wasn't a priority. Thanks!

@Leadisan I'm running it again and there are no errors. Did you try installing with python3? I can't see the image you last shared for some reason.
On running ubertooth-btbr (which is in Edited: usr/local/bin ) I get much the same as you without the exception. No commands seem to work but I will keep trying.
Ctrl-z exits but I have to unplug the ubertooth before running again.

@Leadisan so supposedly we can run ubertooth-ubtbr while we're running ubertooth-btbr. I can't find any ubertooth-ubtbr and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to install everything from scratch when I have time.
